Samuel L. Jackson & Daveed Diggs Set For Hitman Thriller From Director Ernest Dickerson; WME Independent Launching For EFM
The hitman thriller features a script specially written for Jackson.
In a part written specifically for him by Stone, screen icon Jackson plays Morris Stokes, a recently retired and very opinionated hitman for mob boss Easy-A. The synopsis reads: “When his nephew Leslie (Diggs), is implicated in the theft of the mob’s earnings, Morris gets a call from his old boss that forces him off the golf course and back into action to negotiate one last job: he’s got the weekend to to help the kid recover the stolen money or put a bullet in him. Snowpiercer and Star Trek: Prodigy actor Diggs, also a singer-songwriter who won a Tony for his work on Hamilton, is coming off two-time Oscar nominee Nickel Boys.
